I feel a dystopian future. Never underestimate what our fellow humans can do.

In feudal times, society was divided into three parts: bellatores, those who fought; oratores, those who prayed; and laboratores, those who worked. According to this model of the world, even if AI took over the fighting and the working, at least humans could still occupy themselves with praying.

I feel a dystopian future. Never underestimate what our fellow humans can do.

In feudal times, society was divided into three parts: bellatores , those who fought; oratores , those who prayed; and laboratores , those who worked. According to this model of the world, even if AI took over the fighting and the working, at least humans could still occupy themselves with praying.

I'm pretty sure there is a timeline where humans are atheists but the robots are religious.

Religious automation has prior art:

When the robots are doing all the praying too, how will we occupy the humans? Yoga and woodworking? Social media?

(the latter including faffing about on HN)

It's going to be so competitive.
